Workshop Series

Patrice Barton has been illustrating professionally since graduating with a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin. Some of her recent picture books are The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig and I Pledge Allegiance, by Pat Mora and Libby Martinez, both published by Knopf Books for Young Readers and The Year of the Baby by Andrea Cheng, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

January's workshop is the third live workshop in the series. Registration gives you access to the replays of two previous workshops with illustrators Cindy Wider and Shirley Ng-Benitez, and three remaining workshops with illustrators Tracy Nishimura Bishop
(February 28), children's book agent Christy Tugeau Ewers (March 22) and illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal (April 25.)

When you register for Patty's session, you'll receive details on where and how to upload your sketches and participate in Patty's and the remaining live classes.

As Patty explains in the video, your assignment for Jan. 30 is to sketch one or more characters focusing on gesture to tell a story.

In her class, Patty will pick 10 pieces from the group to speak to while she shares her secrets about drawing and painting children for the books she's illustrated for the past 15 years.

You can download and save the PDF with her class assignment here.
